What is a younger shooter? Younger people are not showing up in my shooting sports. I suspect that possible we are looking in the wrong place for young shooters. I see younger shooters showing up with black rifles and mainly automatic handguns. I'll be on one range and hear the young people dumping magazines on another. I could care less about black rifles. That's their thing

The NMLRA was concerned about no new members showing up twenty years ago. The younger shooters are now middle aged. Remember the black rifles and electronic games are really more interesting. Membership in older shooting sports is declining. I do not mind being a dinosaur.
